Setting Default Kit Upon Start Up

[Ashley Greatorex]

Hi Friends.

I have driven myself crazy trying to solve this myself and have failed miserably. How on earth do you choose the kit that opens when you launch the program? I can set the general library (ie Progressive Foundary), but how do I select a preset or altered kit within that? Every time I open, I have to navigate and load the kit through drop down menus. Is there no way to choose exactly the sounds you want upon launch?

Many thanks
Ben

Hi, just select “Set Current as Default Project” from the File menu.

Thanks a lot for the reply, but I dont seem to have a file menu, and I cannot find that option in any of the other menus either. I have uploaded an attachment. Is my version restricted because its a VST or something?

Thanks
Ben

I think Olof thought you were referring to Superior Drummer 3 and not S2.

You can set a default library in S2 from the Settings Menu.

Thank you for this, but when I try to save the setup ( FULL Quilted Sapele Kit- so all the cymbals are loaded and the Black Beauty snare is the preferred) it does not load it. It defaults to the standard Sapele kit with not all the cymbals or the Black Beauty stored as the default.  On a Mac running SD V2.4.4 (12845) 64bit VST.

 

Thanks!

Are you saving an S2 Project or are you saying that “Make Current Lib Default” doesn’t save specific kit pieces? The former should (saving an S2 Project) but the latter won’t (it just saves/defaults the library not specific kit pieces).
